According to KenPom, the Buckeyes are 235th nationally in average height, which ranks teams based on minutes-weighted height in inches. The next-smallest Big Ten team is, oddly, Purdue, which is 142nd. Size isn’t everything, especially given how the Buckeyes have shot the ball early, but if Ohio State can’t get serviceable minutes from sophomore Austin Parks (6-10, 260) or freshman Ivan Njegovan (7-1, 250), it could present problems in the notoriously physical Big Ten.

I realize that Bradshaw's case is under the tightest state security and this is probably done for his protection as well as the university and the victim of the alleged domestic violence. Also realize that many diehard bball fans probably are not so upside down about his absence as perhaps I am.
